It’s been fun to be on NPR

Thanks, Sue,

Sue’s opinion piece on NPR.org has caused a lot of chatter this week. I love it, of course, because it says so much about her love. Her love of me and her parents.

Well done, Suzie.

I wrote this guide to Twitter’s advanced search for BusinessJournalism.org, my day job.

New site launched. Now the fun begins

I moved to the Reynolds Center for Business Journalism in August. My first major project has been to redesign the center’s Web site.  We launched this week and I love it.

The goal of the center is to help business journalists  and journalists who cover stories with business angles to do their jobs better. The site is designed to help us make the Reynolds Center newsy, educational and a place for business journalists to gather.

Stop by.

Tell me what you think.
